One of the test questions from another lesson:
Je suis sûre que nous ________ ce livre.

Why do we use Le Futur instead of subjonctif present? Do we use Subjonctif present automatically after 'que'?
I would like to know more about the use of past participles as adjectives. Could you please help me .

You'll take your cousin to the party is gives as 'Tu ameneras ta cousine a la fete'. In all the dictionaries I have consulted, Amener means 'to bring', Emmener means 'to take'. In English these are two quite distinct actions. 'To take' implies that the taker and the taken are both at Point A and are going to Point B. To bring implies that the person being brought is at Point A, and the person speaking is at Point B. Duolingo never got the hang of this. You' ll take your cousin to the party should be 'Tu emmeneras ta cousine a la fete'. Or are amener and emmener synonymous?
Are these both correct? Interchangeable?

My grammar comprehension through the quizzes is proceeding well. I am 1/2 way through A2; but my listening comprehension is lagging. I seem to be at A1 at best; very difficult to understand spoken french. Should i be spending more time on listening and less on grammar, or do i need the grammar (future anterior, simple past etc) to understand spoken conversations?thankstony
Why is it not "je ne changerais *pas* ma vie pour rien au monde"? Is "pour rien" a varient of the "ne... rien" negation?
I thought only the first letter of titles was capitalized in French. For example, in a catalogue, the title of the book "Gabrielle Roy: La détresse et l'enchantement" is written with only the proper name and the first word of the subtitle in capitals.
